Finding that reading Job has been a blessing. It's been a good reminder of God's sovereignty and the fact that though we don't know what's going on, God is still in control
I was intrigued by one of yesterday's little side notes in the DWB (daily walk Bible) regarding Job 38:16
'Have you entered into the springs of the sea? or have you walked in search of the depths?'
The note mentioned the the Mariana Trench so I looked it up today - it sounds like Adrian's favourite pasta, but it's actually a dirty, great, big trench in the sea! It's nearly 11000km deep and Wikipedia says
'If Mount Everest, the highest mountain on Earth at 8,848 metres (29,029 ft), were set in the deepest part of the Mariana Trench, there would be 2,076 metres (6,811 ft) of water left above it'
Now that's deep!
Also another intriguing inclusion in Job 39 about a unicorn!
Job 39:9 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?
There are other mentions of unicorn in the Bible so I wanted to find out more... hence this link to an article by Carl Wieland from Creation Ministries. You may agree or disagree that it is supposed to be translated as a 'wild ox', but as for me and my imagination, we will think of unicorns.
